Same. All the 14 pairs I have that I have collected from 2009-now don’t have this feature. Btw, I am australian which confirms this isn’t a aussie thing 😂
at my middle school, they make you spit on an area in the floor n wipe the bottom of your shoes there, I can’t lie, it’s prob saved my life 200 times in basketball.
Rolled my ankle with some Hoka running shoes on the court yesterday. All I got is some Converse All Stars right now, the ones with the extra padding. Gonna give them a test. Imma be the old guy with the old school kicks lol. Gotta be better than running shoes if they stood the test of time from the 70's and back.
Xd I was like Russell I played in non boosting shoes till recently I even broke the 30-100 yard dash records in Fila vulcs xd After they broke and I returned to shoes with even less support like chucks I knew I needed to upgrade shoes are a secret advantage most don't realize and fewer talk about
Correction: converse became popular in the 60s and early 70s, until Adidas arrived with the superstar and then with the forum but that's where the air force one comes in.
Back In The Day, Wilt Chamberlain was able to Drop 100 Points wearing Converse cause back then, Converse was Built Better like the remake of Converse 70s.
Fun fact: old basketball shoes were actually converse
Yup
I used to have a pair but I threw them away blindly
correct, and then adidas invented superstar for more reliable and comfort basketball shoes back then
Yup including chuck taylor
thanks sherlock!
I only think the US sold ones have felt on the bottom. The ones you buy in Europe don’t.
